New Hires Increase During Surrrner of 1994

The Alaska New Hires Quarterly Report is a new series developed by the Alaska Department of Labor, Research and Analysis Section. A new hire is defined as an employee who was not working for the employer during any of the previous four quarters. In other words, a new hire represents either a new job or the turnover of an existing job, excluding seasonal rehires from the previous year. New hires include workers entering the work force for the first time; workers re-entering the work force after training, education, or child-rearing; previously unemployed individuals who find work with a new employer; and individuals who change employers while making a vertical or lateral career move.
